The Rohrau lute manuscripts had been discovered in the year 2004 in
Schloss Rohrau in Austria.
Michael Freimuth and Tim Crawford tell more about the finding and the
content under The Harrach Manuscripts.
These two large lute books include many singular fascicles that have
been bound together. They probably stem from the area around Salzburg.
Although the music might partially be from before 1720, the
copies possibly are written not before 1735.
